  • A Short Course in Quantum Information Theory

    An Approach From Theoretical Physics

    by Lajos Diosi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This short and concise primer takes the vantage point of theoretical physics and the unity of physics. It sets out to strip the burgeoning field of quantum information science to its basics by linking it to universal concepts in physics. An extensive lecture rather than a comprehensive textbook, this volume is based on courses delivered over several years to advanced undergraduate and beginning ... Read more

  • Albert Einstein: Creator and Rebel

    by Banesh Hoffmann, Helen Dukas ...
    “Hoffmann does more than convey the emotional impact of Einstein’s science on Einstein. He tries to make the general reader see the problems that concerned Einstein and understand the kinds of theories he constructed to solve them... This calls for scientific popularization of a high order... Hoffmann [...] does it very effectively.” — Martin Klein and Robert Merton, The New York Times“... ... Read more

  • The Quest for Reality: Bohr and Wittgenstein - two complementary views

    by Stig Stenholm ...
    In both science and philosophy, the twentieth century saw a radical breakdown of certainty in the human worldview, as quantum uncertainty and linguistic ambiguity destroyed the comfortable certitudes of the past. As these disciplines form the foundation for a human position in the world, a major epistemological reorganization had to take place. In this book, quantum theorist Stig Stenholm presents ...

  • Quantum Waveguides

    by Pavel Exner, Hynek Kovařík ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This monograph explains the theory of quantum waveguides, that is, dynamics of quantum particles confined to regions in the form of tubes, layers, networks, etc. The focus is on relations between the confinement geometry on the one hand and the spectral and scattering properties of the corresponding quantum Hamiltonians on the other. Perturbations of such operators, in particular, by external ... Read more
